You could also get away with just washing at night.\r\n\r\nYes, I recommended the cream since you might need something stronger given how much you wash.\r\n\r\nI looked at the alba product and imo, it's not good. It's got a bit of alcohol and essential oils and plant extracts which is a very irritating combination. The salicylic acid won't do much good if you're adding a bunch of irritants with it. If you're open to online shopping, the Paula's Choice Salicylic acid 2% is much better - very gentle product and you get a decent amount for the price per oz.\r\n\r\nVitamin A and some of its derivatives are excellent for acne, such as retinol (which is ok) and differin (drug name adapalene, which is better). Both are over the counter. You can find differin at Walmart, CVS, amazon, etc. If I had to pick between the two for acne, I would choose differin. It's also what is prescribed for acne treatment by doctors, albeit at higher strengths.

You might want to try:\r\n\r\n1. A razor with no more than 4 blades, preferably 3 blades. Less bacteria will get trapped between blades because during rinsing, water will flow more freely between the blades. After rinsing with H2O, briefly dousing blades with hydrogen peroxide (not alcohol) would help kill remaining bacteria. Hydrogen peroxide is bacteriacidal (-cide, as in homicide, means it actually kills bacteria), whereas alcohol is only bacteria static (static, of course, means standing still, which means the bacteria that is there will not be killed , but it won't continue to grow.) \r\n2.  Change blade often.\r\n3. Get a decent quality shaving cream for sensitive skin.
